Patch 2.6 - Power UP!
NEW FEATURE: Alternative Master Perks
With this patch we are releasing the Alternative Master Perks feature. Every Master now has access to new tools in the form of new perks that you can choose to use in place of the existing set of abilities that in many cases have existed for years.
Some of these offer new play styles, some offer new deckbuilding challenges, some allow you to react to your opponent’s choices.
You can choose these for your deck while deckbuilding, or you can change your selection during matches up until the point where you actually get your selected perk.
Every master is given one new perk with this patch, and going forward we plan to release two new perks for different masters every other patch!
